Ukraine is not ready to conduct serious negotiations on a settlement; the conditions it puts forward are ridiculous. The First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said on the air of The Dive podcast, TASS reports.
«As for the peace talks, Ukraine does not show any signs of a responsible position. They have some demands that cannot be put on the table in serious negotiations. Therefore, we have not yet come to this. Ukraine only makes political statements that it is theoretically ready for negotiations with Russia. But they are ready to negotiate, if Russia withdraws its troops, even from Donbass and Crimea, which is simply ridiculous. So we don’t have a realistic partner yet, so the special military operation continues,» he said.
Fighting in Ukraine continues. Russia started a special military operation on February 24, 2022. The number of casualties among the military and civilians is growing. Many countries have imposed severe sanctions against the Russian Federation.
